Kingdom Hearts. I was a young lad, and the beginning impressed me a lot. The black void in which painted glass pillars 'stand', etc. That was absolutely beautifull.
Your favorite game: The moment you fell in love with it

Shadow of the colossus: Not sure which number it is, but the giant flying collusus in the desert. I think that was when it became my favourite game, the moment when I first saw that collosi.
I fell in love with Mass Effect (1) for a small bunch of experiences.
1)I fell in love with the gameplay when i first formed my super-biotic-dream-team on my second play-through (adept shephard, Liar And Wrex) Walked into a room, paused, set orders, unpaused, BAM! half the room explodes in a furry of biotic fields and all the enemies are pinned to the walls and roof, awaiting death by Shotgun!
2)I Fell in love with the characters primarily when i was talking to Wrex and he narrates an old anecdote of how a local tribe leader agreed to meet him and discuss a truce. and to make sure it was peaceful, the meeting was at a sacred graveyard. He was back-stabbed, as you may expect, and almost killed, robbing him of any further faith in his own species. Then he slowly concludes the story by saying "Oh and that guy who almost tried to kill me unarmed.....he was my father." (some of the other characters also had awesome Anecdotes, Kaidan, Ashley, Garrus)
3)I'll keep this short, because this is getting embarrassingly long: If you ever found the Lost Prothean Relic on that one barren world.....the one with the Giant silver sphere... then you'll know what i mean when i say: HOLY S#%T! Did they just..! Mind=BLOWN!

Shadowrun. Not the most complex, beautiful or even well designed game but i love it so. The moment came in a attrition mach, ie death mach my team where all dead with just me and my katana elf, people where telling me just to die and end the round buy no! The whole enemy team where all rezed up and alive, running in the court yard on the power-plant map. I was at the top watching them. then woooosh i jumped down without a glider and gusted the ground, i killed some one who was in smoke. I then took my blade and slashed a elf in the back twice bleeding him. I ran past in front to start chopping a dwarf who had stared to turn round 1 chop 2 chop 3 chop 4 chop he goes down. Then the elf drops. Both of them where rezers. A troll comes out from the ramp and fires a rocket i port out of the blast. He was bleeding and had hurt him self with the launcher. I swapped to my pistol and popped him in the head killing him in one shot. I turn around in the middle of the courtyard agin and i see a katana elf running at me from the building. Bleeding and swinging like a mad man, i walked slow back and he slashed, i blocked the attack and just before the second attack hit he bled out in the swinging animation falling past me in almost slow motion. He was the last person alive on there team, so we won the round. My team in chat where going crazy and parsed me as a god lol which i'm not but hey. It was epic and buy and far the most memorable fight in any game to date for me.
Homeworld, the first 3 levels:
1st level, standard tutorial but with this brilliant scene of the mothership powering up and launching from orbital dock for the first time and culminating in you test firing its hyperspace engine to meet a supply ship.
2nd level, you jump to the supply ship only to find its destroyed and you have unknown incoming, you know somethings wrong because your species only just regained the ability to hyperspace but the solar systems been explored and was uninhabited, you emergency jump back home.
3rd level, as you come out of hyperspace adagio for strings starts playing and you know its gonna be bad....your entire homeworld is ablaze, you recieve mono-tone updates from fleetcommand about whats happening on the ground, reports that all orbital infrastructure is gone...but wait we have emergency beacons....6 massive cryo-trays containing the last remnants of your population (600k, 100k per tray) are still intact...wait 1 of them is going offline, view cut to 4 assault frigates of a totally different ship design are using the last of your population as a live fire excercise and 1 cryo-tray is at 40/20% health.
This totally pulled me into the game, I HAD to get the last few survivors to their mythical birth world Higara and lord have mercy on any stupid enough to get in my way, pirate raiders, nebula dwelling space nomads and the entire imperial taidan navy all were purged in storms of fire and metal
also the cutscenes after each mission epecially the third one when you capture an assault frigate "the captain and crew did not survive interrogation" .
special mention for the final level thats just throws the entire taidan navy at you from multiple directions overwhelming waves and at the last second allied forces jump in on top of you but you have no way of knowing that, to you its just another hyperspace signature near your mothership (which is fragile as hell) and whats left of your battered forces are already engaged, out numbered, out gunned and now out flanked (and probably low on fuel for non capital ships) and then the comm message comes in that they are your reinforcements and that sense of relief.
when people tell me games are not art and are incapable of being art I just tell them to play homeworld from start to end

Deus Ex. As soon as I found a blown up Statue of Liberty and the fact that I could build boxes up to the top, I fell in love.
For me its GTA:SA on PC when i was flying though the desert at sun set with Free bird blasting in my ears. i reaslised i was playing damn near perfection.
Probably the ending to Bad Company 2. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the best FPS campaign by far. But at the end the humour and the Michael Bay type style set pieces just clicked.
Also Bioshock. The whole "Would you kindly?" plot twist was amazing
And Just Cause 2, "I was running out of bullets anyway"
Jumping out of the burning plane, without a parachute was perhaps nearly too much like a 1980's action film, but it sure was epic

Star Wars: Battlefront II.
I was a simple child, and I picked it up because
A.) It's Star Wars
B.) It looked kind of cool
I play the Campaign mode... and it was amazing when I went through the first space battle.

In KotOR, when you get your lightsaber. That was an awesome moment for me. Then I discovered a little move called the force jump (I played as a sentinel). That's when I fell in love.
Plus when you first talk to HK 47. I looked at him and knew this would be an awesome character.
Also, in Majora's Mask, when you get the Zora mask. I was zooming around in the bay for an hour, I was having so much fun.

I 100% agree with all stated oblivion was AMAZINGPurpleLeafRave said:Oblivion. I'd just joined the Dark Brotherhood.
I just felt like the ultimate badass in my sneaky clothing, killing people without consequences.
Then there were the twists and turns in the Brotherhood stroyline.
I fell in love with the game after that and the randomnes of some of my encounters. I felt like I could play it forever.
And then after a while, I stepped through a portal to the Shivering Isles...and it was magical!
Cheese for everyone!
sorry guys, world of warcraft (may not be my favorite game, but it definitely had one of those most memorable moments)
the first i logged in and saw this massive world and all of these people running around in it. gave me those chills of something happening on an epic scale.

Hands down; Killer Instinct
I remember seeing this in the arcade at the local mall for the first time. My brother and I stood behind some guys playing and watched as Jago's fireball collided with Fulgor's. Hundreds of sparks flew across the suspended bridge.
In an era seemingly owned by Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct just grabbed me with it's advanced graphics and amazing music. Even today I'll pull up the ol' Killer Cuts music on Youtube and listen to Jago's theme.
Ahhh...nostalgia.
There is one more that has stuck with me, and that would be EverQuest. I remember setting out to the Commonlands for the first time, and stumbling upon a cave entrance along the side wall. Dozens of people were sitting outside resting, and I remember being very hesitant about going in, but excited at the same time. I had expected a huge dungeon possibly with dragons and all sorts of evil in there.
Eventually I discovered it was simply a trading hotspot, and that the size of this game was much more massive than I'd imagined. 4 years later, my magician set sail and never came back.

I used to play wow a hell of a lot.
Started out as just a game I got myself to waste some time with over the summer before I started college.
I set up my lil Gnome mage and started an adventure that would kill 3+ years of my life. I still remember in great detail that it was about 5 in the morning, and I'd just stayed up playing. Something killed me, and on the run back to my corpse I looked into the sky for some reason and just stopped.
That sky vortex thing, the music, my lack of sleep. That sold me the game.
Then back on the 15/05/2010, I opened up my computer to find a beta invite for Starcraft2. I had never played the first one and my rts experience was limited to Age of Mythology and Dune2000, but I gave it a go, and swiftly had my ass handed to me game after game.
I was pretty, meh. On the whole game. I wasn't good and didnt seem to be improving at all, but then, (how I found it I dont know), but I ended up watching the HDH Invitationals, and the excitement I felt watching the WhiteRa vs Idra finals was just amazing.
Since then not a day has passed in which I haven't played or watched the game, and yet. I'm still barely in gold
